Armaldo @ Leftovers
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Stone Edge
- Knock Off

Armaldo is a premier Rapid Spin user for Bug teams. It compresses roles on Bug teams, as it provides utility support in the form of Stealth Rock and Knock Off to help its offensive teammates. Unlike Forretress, the other primary entry hazard remover, Armaldo has decent offensive presence, as it is able to pressure common Defog users and Flying-types such as Mantine and Zapdos with Stone Edge. Its part Rock typing allows it to check Fire-type threats such as Mega Charizard Y for Bug teams. With 84 Defense EVs, Armaldo avoids the OHKO from V-create from Choice Scarf Victini even after Stealth Rock damage and OHKOes in return with Stone Edge. Volcarona is also a good teammate, as it a potent sweeper and appreciates Rapid Spin support; it also takes out Steel types such as Celesteela and Mega Scizor that threaten out Armaldo. Armaldo provides Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock support, which allows Mega Pinsir to sweep more easily. Araquanid doubles as a check to Fire-types, relieving pressure from Armaldo. Scizor is also a good teammate for Armaldo, as it can check Rock types such as Mega Diancie and Nihilego with Bullet Punch.

With 84 Def evs Armaldo lives V-create from Choice Scarf Victini even after Stealth Rock damage and OHKOes in return with Stone Edge. Araquanid doubles as a Fire type check relieving pressure off Armaldo to check Fire types. Scizor is a good teammate for Armaldo as it can check Rock types such as TerrakionMega Diancie and Nihilego with Bullet Punch, Scizor in return appreciates the Stealth Rock support from Armaldo to score easier KOs. Volcarona is also a good teammate as it a potent sweeper and appreciates Rapid Spin support; it also and can takes out Steel types such as Celesteela and Mega Scizor which threaten out Armaldo.
Aside from my text in green, I think you should reorder the partners bit to talk about Volcarona first, then add a sentence about Mega Pinsir, then Araquanid, then Scizor.

Good job! QC 1/1
